How Yorkshireman Lost Wager

Manchester Courier.l


Five pounds to the man who can
prove that any two things put into this
refrigerator will taste OF the other
He was a cute Yorkshireman, and,
having placed refrigerator at his
>hop-door one hot summer day with
the above sign hung over It, retired in
side to await the expected rush OF Gus
toners. People passing up and down
the street iostled each other in their
hurry, glanced at the refrigerator and
It's sign, and went on. ,
After some hours OF disappointed
hope and expectation the tradesman
saw pedestrian halt, camiy peruSee
the wonderful announcement and
rather unhesitatingly advance to the
door. "Do you mean it ?" he inquired
in an anxious tone, pointing over
his shoulder to the sign. Yes, SIR, "
emphatically responded the shopkeep-
er. "Tut down your money!" insinn-
ated the stranger. "No, sir, replied
the tradesman, in pompous style, "my
word is as good as cash" "Al right,
IN take you, responded the stranger,
and departed. He returned shortly
after with a box under each arm.
"Stick to your agreement he
oueried. "Of course | will an
swered the shopkeeper, wondering
what he bad in view.
Tie stranger set his box down on
the pavement, and crowd began to
collect. He told the tradesman that be
was afraid that he (the tradesman]
would back out of his bargain, but the
latter asserted his readiness to put
down the money if necessary. The
stranger opened a box, lifted out cat
and placed her in the refrigerator. Ther
he opened the other box and took there
from A wire cage containing a larg'
rat. "Now, sir, said ne, ''you jus

less than five minutes. The Grove

shop with a remark about fools an'
swindlers. He still refuses to recog

The Cadiz Telephone takes issue
with the Kentuckian upon the sug-
gestion that the salaries of the rail.
road commissioner should be cut
down from $1,000 to $500 per annum.
The Telephone thinks it is better to
employ good men at $1,000 than to
have the work intrusted to "cheap
John" officials. This would be sound
argument IL the commissioners were
required 10 give their whole time 10
the work, but 1t must be borne in
mind that they are not required to
give up their regular vacations, but
only render occasional services 10 the
state which are often merely nominal
labors. From an economical stand
point II would DO better for the State
to pay them 30 much per diem for the
actual work done than to pay either
Of the salaries named above.

Patrons Of Husbandry.

Nov. 10th the National Grange will
commence it's twenty annual ses-
sion in the city of lansing, Michigan.
1t will meet under the most favora-
Bile circumstances. The Governor of
the State, Cyrus G. Luce, is, and has
been for several years, at the head Of
the Grange in his State. In the mat
ter of organization substantial prog
ress has been made. Nearly twice
as many new Oranges have been in
stituted as in last year, or in any one
year for many years past. Hundreds
of Oranges in all parts of the country
have been reorganized. Rhode Island,
the only State in the Union that new
er had Grange, comes to the front
with nearly every township organ
lied. In matters of legislation, much
progress has been made. The work
of the Grange in the direction Of rail-
road control has been crowned with
success, and the Interstate Commerce
law has come to stay. Laws, State
and National, controlling the sale of
adulterated dairy products, have been
passed and sustained. Efforts to re-
move the tariffs on farmers Draw
materials" and leave existing high
tariffs on manufactured goods, have
been defeated. Tax-reform bills
have been passed. Better men in all
parties have been elected TO Office.
The great temperance cause has been
advanced, and in thousands of ways
in thousands of neighborhoods, the
business, social and educational in
terests of the farmer, and Of all his
family, have been advanced. In no
one year since its birth, twenty
years ago, can the Grange point to SO
many and such great practical results,
and it comes to its years of manhood,
its majority, flushed with success, and
with the brightest hopes and pros
poets for its future.

The trouble over the Canadian
fisheries question iS again being dis
cussed In the newspapers. About
the best way for Uncle Sam to settle
the fish question is TO call for "Blue
and Gray" volunteers and send them
to Canada TO take all of the fish and
as much of Canada as we need in our
business. 1t would be a good way
to cement the ties that should bind
north and south together and at the
same time give England the licking
that we have to administer to her
every once in a while.

But one survivor of the wrecked
Steamer, Vernon, lost in storm on
Lake Michigan, has yet been found.
His name is Alfred Stone and he was
picked up from raft upon which
was the dead body Of another man.
Stone states that six persons escaped
on the raft but all persisted from the
cold excepting himself. He was
thoroughly exhausted and could have
lived but a few hours longer. He
expresses the opinion that there were
about so persons on board the unfor-
tunate vessel, of which number he is
probably the sole survivor.
